Expert Answers about Toyota Venza


  • Recommendation For Durable And Easy To Use 3 Bike Rack For 2010 Toyota Venza
  • A trunk mounted bike rack would be a great choice for your situation. They are a great way to transport bikes without being overly expensive or requiring a hitch. For a great trunk mounted bike rack, I recommend the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack, Item # Y02633, which is a confirmed fit for your 2010 Toyota Venza. The Yakima Fullback is one of the favorites for our install and demo team because it is easy to install and use and is a great performer. It carries 3 bikes with a weight capacity...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Accessories for Towing 5 x 8 Foot ATV Trailer with 2015 Toyota Venza
  • If all you'll ever use the hitch for is towing the trailer you described, the Curt Class II trailer hitch, part # C12341 would work great for you. This hitch uses the smaller 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. You also need the ball mount # C45521, pin and clip # F-4, and a 1-7/8 inch ball # A-80 or a 2 inch ball, part # A-82. However, if there's any chance at all you'd use the hitch as an attachment point for a bike rack or a cargo carrying tray like # C18151, you'd be better off going...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for a 2021 Toyota Venza with an Activity Hitch
  • The activity hitch on the 2021 Toyota Venza has a 1-ΒΌ" receiver and a 110-lb capacity, so your bike rack will have to meet those requirements. The only one we have that might work is the Saris SuperClamp EX 2, part # SA4025F. It's a wheel-mount bike rack that still has the capability to work with fenders. You'll have to clamp the cradle where the fender ends and make sure the straps are securing the wheels. Keep in mind that this rack is 35 lbs, so ensure that your two bike plus this...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for 2013 Toyota Venza and 2004 Toyota Matrix
  • Because of the upper spoiler-trim piece on the Venza, the trunk mount bike rack I recommend for your 2013 Toyota Venza and 2004 Toyota Matrix is the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top 3 Bike Rack for Vehicles with Spoilers # HRF2-3. This bike rack is designed to take any weight, that more traditional trunk mount bike racks would place on the spoiler, off of the spoiler by moving the attachment points of the straps on the rack up higher. The # HRF2-3 can carry 3 bikes and has a weight capacity...

  • Comparing Trailer Hitch Options for a 2013 Toyota Venza
  • For starters I recommend going with a 2" hitch receiver over the 1-1/4" receiver for your 2013 Toyota Venza. The 1-1/4" options tend to have more restrictions as to what they can be used with when it comes to accessories. As for the Draw-Tite # 75663 and the Curt # 13356, these trailer hitches are nearly identical as they have the same weight capacities and designs. The only real difference between the 2 options is that the Curt hitch was made in the USA. I have attached installation...

  • Can Sway Bar Hardware be Removed From 2011 Toyota Venza While on Jack Stands
  • Yes, the sway bar hardware can be removed on your 2011 Toyota Venza with it jacked up in the air. There does not need to be a load on the suspension. With suspension hardware your best bet is to torque it all down with a load on the suspension as that will prevent any weird creaks or groans.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for E-Bikes On a 2022 Toyota Venza
  • The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e25AR is a great option for a 2022 Toyota Venza and what I recommend using. It has a 525 lb tongue weight rating which will be more than enough for a bike rack and a few e-bikes. It also offers a bolt-on install with no drilling required. If you don't already have a bike rack picked out, the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes part # TH903202 is great for e-bikes due to the ramp for easy bike loading and cast wheels for easy rack storage/ma...

  • Easiest to Install Trailer Hitch & Wiring Harness For 2022 Toyota Venza
  • Let's go ahead and start with the hitch, and the easiest install on your 2022 Toyota Venza is the hitch from Curt. The reason for that is you only need to bolt the hitch on, so what you need is the following part number: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C89UR Then for the wiring harness, while I wouldn't classify any as "easy" necessarily, the less complex is the T-Connector that plugs into taillight housing. The ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT is certainly reliable,...

  • Bike Rack that is Quick and Easy to Remove from a Trailer Hitch on a Toyota Venza
  • There isn't a quick release set up for the Thule Roadway # TH9058 but if you used the Kuat Beta, # B202-2, then it has a regular pin and a knob that you can loosen by hand and not have to use a wrench. This model fits 2 inch hitches only. If the hitch on your Venza is a 1-1/4 inch then # B202-114 would be the correct bike rack. These racks cost just a little more but they are super light weight at just over 12 pounds. I have linked a video review for you.

  • Wireless Backup Camera Recommendation to View Behind Trailer with iPhone
  • I really like the Rampage Camera part # RA7710 that you referenced. Especially since you said you have an iPhone and like the idea of monitoring the view behind you with it. Wireless would be the way to go for a camera at the back of a trailer since hardwiring that all the way back up to a tow vehicle would be a huge headache. I attached a review video for this camera for you to check out as well.

  • Roof Mount Bike Rack for a Carbon Racing Bike and 2009 Toyota Venza with Rhino Rack Roof Rack
  • For an excellent rack that will work with your carbon racing bike I recommend the fork mount rack # RBC035. This is one of the most stable racks since it has 2 straps at the front to secure the rack to the roof rack. This creates a stable ride for the bike. I have linked a video review of this rack. You can see in the video we have put a heavier bike on it than a carbon racing bike for the test course portion of the video. Even with a heavy bike on the rack it is still very stable and...

  • Thule Roof Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Toyota Venza with a Factory Roof Rack
  • We have several Thule roof mounted bike racks that will fit on the factory crossbars on your 2013 Toyota Venza. For a wheel mount style bike rack, you will want to look at the Thule UpRide, # TH599000. For a fork mount bike rack, I recommend the Thule FastRide, # TH95JV. These two bike racks use universal mounting hardware that can accommodate wider factory style crossbars. I have attached the installation instructions and videos for each of these bike racks for you to check out.

  • Towing Mirror Recommendation for a 2009 Toyota Venza
  • While we don't have any custom fit towing mirrors for your 2009 Toyota Venza we do have universal tow mirrors that would fit and work well. I recommend the K Source Universal Clip-On Towing Mirror, part # KS3891 for your vehicle. As long as you have a lip on the edge of your mirrors, these will work great for you. These mirrors are sold individually and will attach to either the driver or the passenger side mirrors. These mirrors measure 7-3/4inches tall by 5-1/8 inches wide. I have attached...

  • Moving Trailer Hitch and Wiring From 2009 Toyota Venza to 2011 Toyota Venza
  • Your Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 75663 does fit both the 2009 and 2011 model Toyota Venza. You will definitely want to use new hardware for installation and the easiest route to take for this is to order part # RHK. Once on this product page simply type the part number in the text box provided (75663) and select Draw-Tite from the manufacturer drop-down menu. We will then send out the complete hardware kit for this particular hitch on your vehicle. The hardware for...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2013 Toyota Venza with Panoramic Glass Roof
  • I do have a solution for you, however the Rhino-Rack roof rack that you referenced will not fit your 2013 Toyota Venza if it's equipped with the panoramic glass roof. None of the solutions from Rhino-Rack are compatible with the panoramic roof on your vehicle. I checked with Yakima though and they do state that their JetStream Crossbar system is compatible with the glass roof and will work great on your Venza. This roof rack consists of # Y00426 for the two 60 inch JetStream Crossbars,...

  • Brake Controller Installation Recommendation for a 2011 Toyota Venza
  • Since it sounds like you already have a 4-way trailer wiring harness installed on your 2011 Toyota Venza all you would need to install the Prodigy P3 part # 90195 is the part # ETBC7. This kit comes with everything needed to convert the 4-way to a 7-way and install the brake controller. I attached an install video and instructions for you to check out as well. If you didn't have a 4-way you would need the part # 118482 as well.

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2010 Toyota Venza
  • For a trunk mounted bike rack confirmed to fit your 2010 Toyota Venza you would want the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than the 4-6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer. The cables store inside the rack so there are no loose straps ends to flap around. The cables can also...

  • Recommended Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2013 Toyota Venza
  • There are 2 Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver options for your 2013 Toyota Venza; one with a 1-1/4 inch receiver # 36512 and the other with a 2 inch receiver # 75663. We always recommend going with a 2 inch receiver over a 1-1/4 inch receiver because you will be able to use more accessories and get more out of a 2 inch receiver. The Draw-Tite # 75663 has a Tongue Weight (TW) capacity of 350 lbs and a Gross Towing Weight (GTW) capacity of 3,500 lbs. If you were to use a Weight Distribution...

  • Bike Rack Compatibility With 2010 Toyota Venza
  • Yes, the Swagman XTC-2 # S64671 will fit your 2010 Toyota Venza's trailer hitch. Your Venza can be equipped with either a Class III trailer hitch with a 2" receiver or a Class II trailer hitch with a 1-1/4" hitch receiver. The versatility of the Swagman XTC-2 bike rack actually allows it to work well with both hitches! It's definitely a wise idea to secure both your bike rack and your bikes with hitch locks and cable locks. If your trailer hitch has a 1-1/4" receiver, then consider the...

  • Thule Hanging Bike Rack Recommendation for Surley Pugsley Fat Bikes
  • You should have no problem using a 2 bike rack for both of your Surley Pugsley fat bikes. For example, the Thule T2 Classic, # TH9045, can hold both of your bikes with ease, has a weight capacity of 60 lbs per bike and it will fit a Class II trailer hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. If you have a 2 inch receiver, then you will want part # TH69TX. It also has a 60 lb per bike weight limit and a 160 lb overall limit when used as the 4 bike mode. Most bike racks have a per bike weight capacity....
